The big-box chain announced in a press release Thursday that it would be designating Sundays from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. as “Appreciation Hour” for first responders and healthcare workers to shop – even those without a BJ’s membership – beginning April 19.

“We are incredibly grateful for everything that our first responders and healthcare workers are doing to keep our communities safe and healthy,” said Lee Delaney, President and Chief Executive Officer, BJ’s Wholesale Club, in the press release. “We’re proud to offer a designated shopping hour to first responders and healthcare workers as a small way to say thank you for their hard work and dedication.”
